QUEENSLAND LITERARY AWARDS

Who needs a premier to run literary awards? A group of
volunteers led by Queensland
authors Matthew Condon and Krissy Kneen, and supported by Avid Reader bookstore, have
established the Queensland Literary Awards.

The awards are now open for
nominations in the same 14 categories as the Queensland Premier’s Literary
Awards, including children’s and Young Adult, and close 6 May 2012. This year’s
awards will have no prize money attached but the group considers it important
to continue to recognise great literature and hopes that the awards may be
re-established. For further information or to enter the awards go to http://queenslandliteraryawards.com/
